4 (4) CHERRY GROVE OFFICES – The Assistant Director Prevention and Commissioning and Director of Places submitted a report seeking to declare the Cherry Grove offices surplus to the requirements of the People directorate.

Cherry Grove was situated in a residential area within Kingsway and Lincoln Gardens ward. It was originally built as a children’s home but was converted to offices a number of years ago.

The Cherry Grove offices were no longer deemed appropriate for the delivery of services to children and families. Services had been realigned and teams relocated to other sites.

Resolved – That the Cherry Grove site and buildings be declared surplus to the requirements of the People Directorate from 1 January 2017, as set out in Option 1 of the report.
